Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. It serves as a building block in the preparation of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) due to its ability to form hydrogen bonds and participate in selective binding with biological targets. Also employed in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides with improved efficacy and selectivity. Its structural features make it valuable in medicinal chemistry for optimizing drug potency and metabolic stability.
